Također, oni su jedna od akustički najistraživanijih skupina zrakoperki današnjice, sa 23 poznate vrste koje se glasaju. U sklopu ove disertacije, u četiri znanstvene publikacije prvi je put istražena, upotrebom bioakustičkih metoda i analiza, sposobnost stvaranja zvukova i vokalni repertoar glavoča linije Gobius Neogobius melanostomus, Neogobius fluviatilis i Ponticola kessleri, kao i Perccottus glenii (Odontobutidae). Nadalje, ovom su disertacijom istražene anatomske strukture uključene u proces produkcije zvukova kod rotana, a rezultati su pokazali kako se mehanizam najvjerojatnije temelji na kontrakcijama kranijalno-pektoralnih mišića. Upotrebom molekularnih analiza koje uključuju metode filogenetske rekonstrukcije s mitohondrijskim i jezgrenim genetičkim biljezima, rekonstruirani su odnosi vokalnih glavoča linije Gobius te istražena korelacija između genetičke i akustičke divergencije. Rezultati ove disertacije naglašavaju kako su zvukovi glavoča specifični za pojedinu vrstu, dok njihova interspecijska akustička divergencija prati genetičku, što pokazuje kako evolucija zvukova i genotipova prati isti obrazac.

They are also one of the most investigated acoustic cluster of actinopterygian fish nowadays, with 23 species vocally tested. In this dissertation, represented through four scientific publications, the acoustic communication and vocal repertoire was investigated in Gobius-lineage gobies Neogobius melanostomus, Neogobius fluviatilis and Ponticola kessleri, as well as in Perccottus glenii (Odontobutidae), using standardized bioacoustic methods and analyses. The presented dissertation investigated the anatomical structures involved in the sound production, and the conducted analyses indicate that the sonic mechanism could be based on the contractions of cranio-pectoral muscles. By using phylogenetic analyses with a multilocus approach, we reconstructed the interspecific relationships between vocal gobies from Gobius-lineage and correlated the acoustic and genetic divergences. Results of this dissertation emphasize that goby sounds are truly species-specific, while their interspecific acoustic divergence follows the genotypic divergence, which could indicate that acoustic signals in gobies from Gobius-lineage carry phylogenetic signal.

Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.

SPRINGER m SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 367 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoo/ogy Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world cf science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

Frank L. Pezold, PhD Chris Bird, PhD Chair Committee Member Kevin W. Conway, PhD James D. Hogan, PhD Committee Member Committee Member Lea-Der Chen, PhD Graduate Faculty Representative December 2014 ABSTRACT The family of fishes commonly known as gobies (Teleostei: Gobiidae) is one of the most diverse lineages of vertebrates in the world. With more than 1700 species of gobies spread among more than 200 genera, gobies are the most species-rich family of marine fishes. Gobies can be found in nearly every aquatic habitat on earth, and are often the most diverse and numerically abundant fishes in tropical and subtropical habitats, especially coral reefs. Their remarkable taxonomic, morphological and ecological diversity make them an ideal model group for studying the processes driving taxonomic and phenotypic diversification in aquatic vertebrates. Unfortunately the phylogenetic relationships of many groups of gobies are poorly resolved, obscuring our understanding of the evolution of their ecological diversity. This dissertation is a multi-scale phylogenetic study that aims to clarify phylogenetic relationships across the Gobiidae and demonstrate the utility of this family for studies of macroevolution and speciation at multiple evolutionary timescales.

They include the smallest European freshwater fish, Economidichthys trichonis, which is threatened by habitat loss and pollution, as are several other sand gobies. Key to good conservation management is an accurate account of the number of evolutionary significant units. Nevertheless, many taxonomic and evolutionary questions remain unresolved within the clade, and molecular studies are lacking, especially in the Balkans. Using partial 12S and 16S mitochondrial ribosomal DNA sequences of 96 specimens of at least eight nominal species (both freshwater and marine populations), we assess species relationships and compare molecular and morphological data.

Gobies are also an important but often- 28 underestimated part of coastal marine food webs. In this study, we describe and analyse the 29 morphology of the sagittae, the largest otoliths, of 25 species inhabiting the Adriatic and 30 northwestern Mediterranean seas. Our goal was to test the usefulness and efficiency of 31 sagittae otoliths for species identification. Our analysis of otolith contours was based on 32 mathematical descriptors called wavelets, which are related to multi-scale decompositions of 33 contours. Two methods of classification were used: an iterative system based on 10 wavelets 34 that searches the Anàlisi de Formes d'Otòlits (AFORO) database, and a discriminant method 35 based only on the fifth wavelet.
